AK Speed Run - Warrior Style

Woulda been faster with a summoner

I haven't watched your video at all, but I do 18~20 minute AK runs on my Paladin, and we AoE pull 2-3 packs at a time.

Not too impressive tbh. Any group with 2 relic dps can run it just as fast without going out of their way to pull stuff and aoe. The last group I was in with 2 relic DPS easily killed demon wall before any bees spawned.

The only difference between your video and a normal quick run is that your WHM spent the entire time healing whereas normally a whm will spend 50%+ time dpsing.

Haha - at first I didn't notice it was you Joy! You know when I grouped with a BLM and told them I did it with a SMN as AOE DPS they were like "what, summoners can AOE?". There are way too many bad summoners in this game; many don't know their DPS potential.

Interesting - and here I was thinking Warriors may have actually had a niche. Way to rain on my parade!

Sometimes you can have fun in AK with bad groups.. Rarely, but for example: I had group die except me with Demon Wall at 10-15% health. Got to solo finish it as Warrior. Tank DPS + self heal: let's see a PLD do that. =P

rest of the group died, ended up popping most of my def buffs to kill it.
